Reinstalling my system using 64 bit has fixed many of many performance
issues. Coming from the redhat line I'm used to using yum and like using
yum. I've installed yum on opensuse 10.3 and added the videolan and
packman repos. I'm having a lot of problems with things getting broken.

For example, if I install vlc it installs a bunch of packages, but does
not remove any. It wants to install both 64 and 32 bit. I don't know why
it's doing that. After installing vlc yum and rpm are broken because
libpopt.so.0 is missing. Actually it's libpopt.so.0.0.0 or something. I
may be off slightly there, but the point is the same.

Anyway, I reinstalled from scratch and made sure I did NOT install the
32bit support as part of the install. Installing vlc did the same
thing. 

I'm reinstalling again because I don't know what else got broken even if
I fix popt. I'll try using just yast for the installations and see if
that goes better. 

Just to be clear, it's not just vlc causing this, that was just an
example. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
James
